My Mavic crash

[RayOZ]

That was a fascinating flight. Were you trying to break it? Anyway, at 655 seconds, 82 m altitude and 91 m from your home point, you executed a perfect CSC. That's the first time I've seen that done.

DJI should add into the flight log when CSC is initiated. Don't you have to hold the CSC position for a short duration or something? If it's instantaneous, anyone flying in sports mode zipping around could accidentally trigger it.

5:37 upper right hand side looks like a bird strike.

Yea there’s definitely something there in the corner of the view

It wasn't a bird that brought it down.

It was held for over one second.

 

[RayOZ]

If it was a bird, the drone would be spinning on the way down, cos the motors would likely still be spinning. This one, it just "gracefully" drop.

 

[dbyantis]

what is that CSC

You entered a command through the position of the sticks that instructed the Mavic to shut down. How disable CSC maneuver that shuts the prop motors off in flight?, fly it, it is not a twitch video game. There is no real reason to ever get the control sticks in that position, while attempting any flight maneuver, except instant landing. Hope it can be fixed.

Yeah, I was impressed by how smoothly it came down! Looked like it was tired after a lot of vigorous, full-stick inputs and was glad for a little CSC break...

Does anyone know if a quadcopter will exhibit some autorotation in such circumstances, as helo pilots are familiar with?
Anyone care to get two mavics, one taking video of another doing a CSC? Be very cool.

Sure. I'll video with mine, you can CSC with yours.

and put down on the toilet a $1000 Mavic!

I'm not sure if it could autorotates, as the pilot has no control of the pitch of the blades I would doubt it though...

 

[Simmo]

Has the video gone???

Also, OP, did you change the CSC settings in the app? Because by default, you cannot stop the motors whilst inflight unless there is a 'critical error'?

I think OP removed it a while ago. Probably incriminating evidence of unsafe operation of a drone in residential area.

Had to hide the evidence so he could sell it. (unless this is a spare MP lol)
DJI Mavic Pro 4k fly less mint Raleigh NC AREA $700

Not true. You can CSC at any time during flight.

 

[OldBlueHeron]

You never go full ret-)-...

 

[Simmo]

Errm no, the default setting is that CSC will only work when the AC detects a critical error. What that is I dont know.
You would have to change this setting to be able to use the CSC in flight.
